The ride offers five routes:

Century Challenge, 100 miles: Are you an experienced rider looking to conquer new territory? Climb nearly 6,000 feet while completing a full century through charming towns and beautiful countryside that takes you into and around Harriman State Park.

Rockland Roll, 75 miles: Looking for a bit of a challenge? Triumph over 4,000 feet of elevation gain as you wind your way uphill and down dale to scenic Rockland County.

Dirty Spin, Metric Century: For the first time in 24 years, Escape New York offers a dirt route. The route goes from Sakura Park to Nyack Beach, offering 2,800 ft of elevation and a mix of paved, gravel and hard packed roads.

We recommend a road bike with 28mm or wider tires. Riders must be comfortable riding on dirt roads and be able to navigate on their own.

Piermont Pleasures, 50 miles: Do you prefer a “touring” approach to cycling? Enjoy the scenery on our half-century excursion to the historic village of Piermont on the Hudson.

Bergen Spin, 25 miles: New to cycling? Is this your first time riding outside of the Hudson Greenway or Central Park? Expand your horizons as you amble through the leafy suburbs of Bergen County.
